I have always loved what I do. This industry never stands still and neither do I. The skill required to do this at Creative Director Level fascinates me as much today as it did when I entered the industry aged 16. Being able to go from an apprentice to a level where I can write techniques and educate in the industry has been a journey that I have learnt so much from. Helping to train and support the future artists in their next stage is something that I am always proud of. We create and support incredible people and I love the fact that it will continue to a big part of our journey for the next twenty years.

Being in the salon with my clients and my team is the best feeling in the world. I am busy and people do book in advance and I wish there were more hours in the day – but it is such an incredible feeling to see such a variety of people and work so creatively each day.

As a Creative Director I run an incredibly busy column and people do need to book in advance. I have a hugely loyal clientele and I am known for my attention to detail. I have so much professional respect for what we do at Bespoke Hairdressing, it is important to do it well and ensure that the client has the best experience from the moment they enter the salon. My clients often book in for the whole year because we are in this journey together and I know how to help them to achieve what they want.

I take so much creative pride in my work. I listen to what my clients want and know how to create what they need. It is important for me to have the best skills in all areas so I love colour as much as I do cutting and can create beautiful hair up work. I have degree level knowledge in colour and can create soft natural looks and more vibrant creative colour work. I know how to maintain your hair look and hair health. What you want from us is strong knowledge and advice and I will guarantee that you understand the process from start to finish.

I am the Head technician in the salon. I hold the highest qualifications that you can get in the industry. I am degree qualified in both technique and our colour house, Redken. I understand the complexities of how colour works and have the knowledge to blend Bespoke shades when required. Clients come to me because of the level of my knowledge and the skill in technique that I have. I love creating a Bespoke look for every client. I can create shades & tones to such specific level that you really do get your own style. The colour process is a journey, and hair health plays a really important part. I will make sure that you are not just colour “cool” but colour “safe” keeping your hair strong. That’s why people book in with me, often for the whole year. I love what I do and play a leading part in developing the colour skills, techniques and products at Bespoke.

I love being a Creative Director and had such a great time on this journey. Bespoke have supported my education from an apprentice all the way to my Creative Director level when I put together a team to create the gent’s hair for a Theatre show. I have been able to take a year out and travel and now can work flexibly to look after both my family and my clients. I run a busy column and love that. I can do both classical and creative work and am strong in both Ladies and Gents work. I can also create complex hair up work. No challenge phases me.

I really do enjoy what I do, the team that I work with and all of my clients. I have worked hard to get my foundation degree in cutting and have continued with in depth study through my whole career. Creative Director is the next stage for me, and it will require focus and dedication to achieve this. I am currently planning the events that will enable me to achieve this grade in 2020 and I hope you enjoy following my creative journey. I will post regular updates. I can create both classic and advanced work to a high standard. I am known for making even the most nervous client feel comfortable. It is important to me that you are happy and love your visit to the salon. I love being here and want you to enjoy it too.

I have always known that I wanted to do this as a career, and I enjoy everything about the industry. I am passionate about all aspects of hair and beauty and have really put every ounce of energy into keeping my training plan at a high level. I really understand about fashion and trends and know how to give my clients a look that they can maintain. You need to enjoy doing your hair at home – it’s no good if I can only create the look in the salon. I want you to be happy with how you can manage it at home too.

I was so proud to graduate with my foundation degree in 2018. There is so much work that goes into achieving this qualification. I love being in the salon and around people. I enjoy the focus and creativity of the industry that I have chosen. It doesn’t stop there for me. I have a plan to progress my degree to an advanced level. I love creating soft and flowing looks. I am strong at hair up. I am looking forward to starting some advanced barber training in September 2019.

I am so enthusiastic and passionate about what I do! I graduated with a distinction in my foundation degree in 2019. I was so excited as it was a great reward for two years of extremely hard preparation work. I find being with clients a very natural and rewarding thing for me. I know how to put people at ease and ensure that they leave smiling. I love every part of the industry and am so focused on continuing my learning journey. It is great to see my column get busier and busier week on week. There is nothing better than people calling the salon and asking to book in with Holly. I love my job. x
